Ok, i make it short:

I have a Samsung Drive which does not play game dvd´s, only movies. When i put a game in,
it says "put this disc in a xbox".

Ok, i have a working Hitachi drive here.

How can i fix the Samsung or how can i swap the Samsung for the Hitachi?

I only found tut´s describing the swapping "Hitachi for Samsung"....

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Depends on what's wrong with the Samsung exactly. If it was working fine and just started to not read games then it's most likely just the laser, you can try a POT tweak on it or swap the laser over from the Hitachi into it. If ya want to go replacing the drive you'll have to dump both drives FW, replace the key in the Hitachi with the one from the Samsung, then spoof it as well so the Hitachi reports it's a Samsung. Same as going from Hitachi to Samsung, just the exact way of doing it's a tad different since the drives dump/flash differently, but the principles are the same.

Ok,
I did the POT tweak already, so i think i swap the laser. Since you have such GREAT tutorials on, this shoud
be a piece of cake!

THANK you RDC!
